2011 Year in Review

2011 has been a pretty sweet year! 

Made some new music…made some new friends and contacts inside the music industry and in my personal life.

It’s been great and it’s been a lot of fun! 

I became a Voting Member of The Recording Academy (The Grammy’s) and had one of my recent albums on the Grammy Ballots!!

I’ve been pushing and fighting through the crazy turns, hills and mazes that is “the music industry”…

I’m not going to lie…it has been tough and it truly is a test of patience and perseverance.  But it is what I absolutely love to do!  I work a normal day job but I know in my heart that music is where it begins and ends for me.

The people I’ve met, the places I’ve seen because of the music industry is something else…I can’t imagine my life being where it is without music being such a factor with everything that I do.

I’m so thankful to the big man upstairs for everything I’ve been able to accomplish and the people I’ve been blessed to meet along the way.

Although I started out in pop and made my way into the classical world…I’m again making a change.  Heading into the “Scoring to Picture” world.

I really love the aspect of creating “emotions” to scenes.  I will continue to write music in Pop and Classical but I will be dedicating more of my time to the film scoring community.

With influences such as Brian Tyler, Hans Zimmer and of course John Williams…this is a side of music that I really do love and will work my butt off to make things happen.

I’ve been thankful to be successful in both pop and classical and hopefully I can continue it on into scoring music to picture.

I hope that each of you is following your heart and your dreams because it’s a beautiful thing when pieces of the puzzle start falling into place!

Here’s to another successful, safe and a Happy New Years!!

All the best in 2012!!
